Sound | Xperia XZ Premium

Always pushing the boundaries of sound

We’ve always been famous for sound innovations, and the Xperia XZ Premium gives you Sony’s best mobile music experience to date. Its audio-enhancing technology lets you enjoy unprecedented sound quality, wherever you go.

How music is meant to sound

With High Resolution Audio, it’s almost like being there with the artist

You’ll hear every tiny detail of your recordings, with such presence it’s like being at your own private gig. Even compressed files in your playlist sound better, as DSEE HX™ lifts them up so they’re closer to studio quality.

Made for audiophiles

With sampling frequencies and bit-rates three to six times higher than CD or MP3, High-Resolution Audio makes music clearer, sharper and more detailed. Close your eyes and you’re in the recording studio.

Original Analogue recording

CD recording

The compressed file format of CD contributing to a less detailed sound quality.

Hi-Res Audio

The more comprehensive sampling format of High-Resolution Audio, providing outstanding clarity of sound.

Enhanced Bluetooth streaming

Enjoy near Hi-Res sound with wireless headphones or speakers

If you’re connecting to wireless speakers or headphones, LDAC ensures you don’t lose a drop of sound quality. It transfers three times more audio data than normal Bluetooth, so every note is crystal-clear.

Just you and your music

Noise cancelling for undisturbed listening

The Xperia XZ Premium comes with Digital Noise Cancelling (DNC) technology. Pair with DNC headphones to reduce up to 98% of exterior noise, for undisturbed enjoyment of your music.

Click play to hear the difference DNC makes.

Dynamic stereo sound all around

S-Force Front Surround gives you the experience of a natural three-dimensional sound field – so you can enjoy virtual surround sound with your two front speakers.

Different headphones, same great audio quality

Automatic Headphone Optimisation (AHO) analyses your headphone type to create the right sound for you. It balances the frequencies to give you the optimum audio signal, and it’s all automatic.

Immersive sound

VirtualPhones Technology (VPT) lets you experience virtually created surround sound through your headphones. Choose your favourite mode and enjoy rich, lifelike audio, as if you were in the room with a 5.1 channel speaker system.

Clear Audio+

Get clear and balanced sound with one touch – no tweaking needed.

Equaliser

Fine-tune your frequencies to make everything sound the way you like it.

Clear Bass

Enjoy dynamic deep bass without distortion, even at high volumes.

Go to a gig – in your headphones

Spatially dispersed audio with Binaural recording

Using compatible Sony headsets like the MDR-NC750, your Xperia XZ Premium can record binaural sound, just like you hear with your ears. Audio is captured with natural 3D positioning – guitar solo on the left, vocals centre stage, and drums on the right.
